Myrrh has anti-inflammatory and antibacterial properties. Burning Myrrh to achieve a relaxed mood, inhaling the sedative scent of Myrrh is known to stabilize emotions, lift negative moods, promote the feeling of being grounded, and encourage the feeling of spiritual awakening.

Are the tree resins and incenses suitable for pets and children or during pregnancy and breastfeeding?  

Even the tree resins are natural and organic, incenses are made from natural raw material, please seek for professional advices before used. Please avoid Myrrh during pregnancy and breastfeeding.

How do I store resins and how long will they keep?

All aromatic materials should be stored in a cool dry place out of direct sunlight. They can be kept in the special resealable pouches or tins we provide for up to a year. For longer-term storage, I suggest an airtight glass jar. Resins can last for decades this way if properly stored.

How do I use the incense sticks?

Light the tip of the incense stick until it flames. Once the tip is glowing, carefully blow out the flame. Fix into an appropriate holder on a heat resistant surface.
